    A well preserved but ruined monastery, with some good explanations / interpretation. The abbey is in a lovely park, and easy to get to from the city centre by bus. It's a peaceful way to spend a morning

    Refreshing greenery in a busy area.

    Visited the duck/boating pond and had lunch on the deck of the cafe.

    Great reminder of my childhood in Leeds and the weekly visits to feed the ducks.

    Plenty of squirrels running around on the grass. Lots of families enjoying the sunshine.

    Great for a chill day during a very busy holiday.

    It was a first time visit and I wanted to go and see the Christmas display. The gatehouse was decked out as a big ribbon with bow and the house was decorated as an Advent Calendar. You pay as you enter at a ticket booth, or show your tickets/membership before proceeding to parking, which is plentiful.

    The Christmas theme was naughty cherubs who have been causing mischief. Not quite what I expected, but it was very clever, with talking Christmas baubles, cakes and plates and a ceiling rose that changed patterns. The rooms were also decorated with trees.

    By the time we got to the cafe by the house they'd sold out of most things, so we had a sausage roll, then wandered the terrace, before leaving. Only a flying visit this time, but worth a return, when we'd see the rooms in better light.

    Lucky to have Temple Newsam on our doorstep. It really has a bit of everything for everyone. Large enough for a big walk, woods , by the lake , visit the house the farm etc. Free parking and cafe
    Many events all year and even a Park Run

    Shop in the courtyard needs a bit of an upgrade so room for improvement

    i went to see the script with a couple of my friends and we were shocked by how poor security was. there were no bag checks done at all. me and my two friends all had bags and not one of ours got checked and this was the same for everyone in front of us and behind us in the queue. there was also no id checks done upon entry. we overheard a group of 14&15 year olds telling people in the queue how old they were and how they were hoping they dont get id’d since you have to be 16 to attend concerts without adult supervision. these two factors are incredibly unsafe and i strongly believe that these need to be looked into. all in all, the staff we spoke to was very helpful when we entered the section where our seats were there was a staff member who guided us to our seats without us having to ask how to get to them. this was great and meant it was more or less impossible for people to be in the wrong seats. however the only fault i have with the staff was the constant walking around the sections when the support act and headlining act was on. me and my friends had our views obstructed continuously by the same staff member parading around our section just walking up and down the stairs every 20 minutes. for what reason this is i am unsure as everyone was in their seats at this point

    A great and informative place to visit. Some interactive rooms and shows. A lovely cafe. All in all a great place to spend a few hours learning about why and how our medicine and health services have evolved,

    Very clean shopping mall. Decent shops and not many empty units. Safe for shoppers. A few annoying kids hanging around but still not as many as other arcades we've visited.

    This place is a bargain of a day out for £10. Unfortunately the upstairs of the manor wasnt open but we saw the downstairs, walked in the grounds and visited the animals. We had a bite in the cafe which was averagely priced, the ice cream man is a bit steep. Parks look great for kids. Lovely place for a sunny day.

    It's no longer just a market.
    The indoor food place was packed, all food stores open and plenty of people and seats.
    We still have the traditional indoor market, although it's getting smaller.
    Also we have the outdoor open market.

    Visited with our two boys and they loved seeing all the animals. A lot of information about each zone and animal as well. Kids are already wanting to go back

    We travelled to watch Gilbert and Sullivan, which was excellent. We had a box on the dress circle, which was spacious and comfortable, affording an excellent view of the stage. Refreshments were cheap and there was no queue at the bar.

    My one gripe was with the staff after the show had finished. Within about 2 minutes of the curtain going up, they were harassing us to get out. An elderly lady who was very fond of ringing a bell during the interval entered the box to let us know we needed to leave before we'd got our coats together. A man from the stalls then shouted up to us 'are you clearing off or what?', which I thought was quite rude. There were still people queueing to leave the auditorium, probably 3 minutes had not passed since it ended.

    If the staff were waiting to get in and clean I'd understand, but the staff were primarily occupied with chasing people already leaving out of the building. Smile at people and tell them you hope they enjoyed their evening. At the very least, usher them along with some courtesy.
